Paris-born vocalist Véronique Joly, together with Canadian saxophonist Terry Quinney and guitarist Rob Palmer, present BOSSA DEFINITIVA, a trio celebrating the cool Bossa Nova sounds of Stan Getz and Astrud & João Gilberto. Drawing inspiration from the classic Getz/Gilberto recordings, the trio's repertoire also includes songs by artists such as James Taylor and Sting, as featured on their recently released eponymous debut album.
Together, the trio brings warmth, lyricism and understated virtuosity. Their repertoire moves effortlessly between classic Bossa Nova and contemporary song, capturing the intimate, timeless appeal of Brazil's most enduring musical style. Watch video

Strictly Murder:
For Home and Country
Sunday 7th February 2027, 2pm
It is Wednesday, 3rd September 1924, and the women of Pucklechurch gather proudly under the banner of the Women’s Institute. What began during the war as a patriotic effort has become a cornerstone of village life — a place of recipes, remedies, and resolute opinions.
But beneath the jam jars and committee minutes, disputes over money, medicine and morality threaten to unravel the harmony of this quiet Dorset village. When tragedy strikes at the heart of the Institute, suspicion spreads quickly — and loyalty to “home and country” is tested in deadly ways. Ticket price includes a 2-course meal of Lasagne with Garlic Bread (or optional Vegetable Lasagne with Garlic Bread), followed by cheesecake and ice cream.
